What a huge difference there has been for me in living by myself. I have no one else to worry about and no children to care for. I can eat when I want, sleep when I want, do whatever and go wherever I want whenever I want to go. I have a great housemate, but he's not my partner, so I feel free and easy. I have actively raised children for 38 years and have had two twenty-year relationships. I sometimes find myself at loose ends, wondering what to do. But when in doubt, I grab an instrument or my journal. I have a wonderful new friend who is supportive and encouraging and lots of old friends who have been there for me through thick and thin. I am truly blessed in this life and very grateful.

As a result, I'm finding myself more productive than I thought possible. And yet, I still manage to have fun, going out to shows, jamming, visiting with friends, enjoying all the good things in life. I'll be jamming/practicing tomorrow and Wednesday, getting ready for some upcoming gigs. Check the calendar, and don't miss the first one on June 13th. Then, this weekend will be packed full of events. I'll be at the Gotta Get Gone festival on Saturday, then music parties both Sunday and Monday. To top it all off, I sing and dance with children and their grownups five days a week. I don't think life could get much better than this. I'll keep you posted...
